Organised by KHL Group and Industrial Promotions International (IPI) in association with Access International, APEX Asia provides a vital gateway to China’s vast MEWP market and will be the largest gathering of powered access equipment manufacturers and suppliers in the region this year.

Now in its fifth edition, the show has become a must attend event and is set to attract visitors from across Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where the rental sector and investment in access equipment is accelerating.

Visitors will be the first to see a host of new products from internationally recognised brands, alongside newer manufacturers that are seeking to expand more widely in export markets.

Access equipment major LGMG will launch a new vertical mast, the M1012JE, with a maximum working height of 12.5m. Its 5.5m-long jib has a triple extension boom, allowing it to easily traverse obstacles.

Unlike other mast lifts, the M1012JE features a zero-extension function with a maximum extension depth of 1.5m, offering a wider working range. In addition, it is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM).

The M1012JE has a platform size of 0.76m by 1.17m, with a maximum load capacity of 200kg, and a small tail swing of 0.15m and minimum turning radius of 0.75m, making it ideal for use in warehouses.

Additionally, LGMG will introduce its latest -2 series crawler scissor lift, the SC0407E-2, which is innovated and optimized based on the original machine, achieving higher work efficiency and enhanced stability.

Furthermore, the company will launch the new X5 series forklift BC225, with a maximum load capacity of 2.5 tones. Equipped with an AC asynchronous drive motor and a permanent magnet synchronous hydraulic motor, the X Series is designed to be powerful and responsive.

LiuGong is set to introduce a range of new products at the show, including the LM09JE vertical mast lift, the LS1218ERT cross platform, the LA10JE boom lift and the LTH0735E telescopic forklift.

In addition, the company will show its LT18JE-c telescopic boom lift and the LS0610EC tracked scissor.

The model has flexible rotating ability for precise positioning, while the durable rubber track is anti-skid and can negotiate uneven terrains. The four powerful outriggers provide stable support for safe operations.

Chufeng is set to introduce a 32m working height boom lift at the show. With its model name yet to be confirmed, the unit will serve as the company’s core model in the medium-to-large series.

New from Tonghe will be a track mounted scissor lift with a working height of up to10.3m. Its compact design provides easy transportation and optimum terrainability.

The unit has a smart control system with human-machine interface (HMI), automated fault diagnosis, automatic parameter configuration, and real-time system monitoring. It also offers zero emissions with the option of lithium battery or hybrid power. The AC motor offers efficiency, as does the one-click outrigger leveling is also a feature.

Infore Environment Technology Group already has a 40% market share of China’s US$2.8 billion waste equipment market. Now the company, which is owned by home appliance giant Midea, is looking to expand into the global access platform market. It will make its access exhibition debut at APEX Asia with the launch of three new products: the 26m T85E-Li electric telescopic boom, the 10m S3246 and 12m S4046electric hydraulic scissor lifts, alongside the 6m compact S1930 Ultra lift.

The whole range features standard configurations of permanent magnet synchronous drive technology.
